Photography Studio Backgrounds

Photography backdrops can make a big difference in the professional appearance of your photos. Different photography backgrounds can add different elements to a photo, so choosing the right backdrop can be as crucial as choosing the correct camera lens.

Before selecting a background, there should be a few factors you need to consider. You would want to have an idea of how you would like your final shot to appear, this way you can make a decision based on your needs. Think of your subject, whether your photo is intended for personal or commercial use and the location.

You may have to consider the cost when choosing backgrounds for photography. Prices vary widely based on style and size, but choosing the cheapest is not always the best option. It may not suit your needs or doesn’t light properly so you won’t be saving money in the long run. Size is important to consider, sometimes its better to buy bigger as you may want to allow plenty of flexibility for shot framing. You may think your doing a head, but your subject may decide on a full body shot and you can’t cover the background.

Types of Photography Backgrounds Available.

Seamless paper backgrounds come as large rolls and in every colour you can think of. They tend to be inexpensive, which means you can buy several rolls in different colours giving you more choice than most fabric backgrounds. Seamless background paper does get dirtier faster and tears more easily, but it doesn’t have the wrinkle concerns of fabric.

Material backdrops can be used for a variety of purposes; they are lightweight, washable and cost effective. They can vary in size and cost, be stored simply or hung straight up with any backdrop stand and transported easily to off-site locations.

Collapsible backgrounds can be a convenient and practical if you do location shoots, many collapsible backdrops can be easily carried and usually pop out to be about six feet long so they won’t need much of a support system, most are also reversible, allowing you to offer two different colour backgrounds.

Vinyl backgrounds are good for in the studio as it provides a seamless and smooth textured backdrop. Many photographers use vinyl because of its ability to soak up light. They are also long and can accommodate a variety of poses, and work with most standard backdrop support systems. Transporting this backdrop can be difficult which is why vinyl works best in studios.

Nick Martin photographer in Berkshire, Reading Woodley, covering all types of family, pet, child, baby newborn and maternity photography, sessions weekdays or Saturdays please let us know which is best for you and dont forget to talk to us about Backdrops.

My name is Nick and I am an award winning photographer, also Licentiateship Member of Professional Photographic Associations – LMPA, LBIPP and LSWPP . I specialise in maternity photography, newborn photography, baby photography, children photography and family portraits.

A maternity photography session is a great way of capturing the beauty of your pregnancy. Pregnancy photography sessions are usually scheduled for your third trimester and are taken with discretion and you can be accompanied by your partner.

Newborn sessions are taken in my studio. Every newborn portrait is special as it marks the start of a new life. I love photographing newborn babies and capturing all their expressions and behaviours as they begin to explore their new world.

We understand investing in custom portraiture is a luxury and it is our intention to provide photographs that reflect you. All portraits are handpicked and beautifully retouched. We strive to provide a unique and custom experience from start to finish, guiding you the entire way. There will be plenty of time during the session to stop to feed and change your newborn, so don’t worry if we need to interrupt the session for either. This age can be the most difficult to photograph, remembering their tiny features, fluffy hair, and all that is new about them, these early days should be captured and always remembered.

For more information about a Newborn session please get in touch. It’s best to contact me well before your Newborn arrives so I can add your due date to my calendar you never know when these little bundles will arrive!
Newborns must be under 4 weeks old on the day of the session.

My baby sessions are taken at my studio and are taken when your baby is around 6-8 months when your baby can sit up confidently on their own. At this ago I can take adorable portraits capturing their developing personality.

Do you take lots of photographs of your family? How many times do you manage to capture the whole family in the photograph? Normally, someone is missing as they’re the ones taking the photo .I love to make every family portrait shoot fun, it doesn’t matter to me whether it’s a small family or large (the more the merrier) customers have also been known to bring there pet dogs with them.

Vouchers can be purchased to go towards your prints by family or friends or even purchased as gifts for somebody else.
